When I recently interviewed "Leviathan" writer-director Andrey Zvyagintsev, he was clearly worried that Vladimir Putin buddy Nikita Mikhalkov's Oscar selection committee would not choose festival favorite "Leviathan," which won best screenplay at Cannes and was acquired by Sony Pictures Classics (December 31). But Russia came through, even though this film is a dramatic and disturbing expose of corruption at the deepest levels of Russian culture--and its devastating impact on its citizens "Leviathan" is the official Russian submission.
